HTC Vive Deals & Offers

Yes, the Rift S was far more comfortable than the quest (and will be better than the Quest 2.... even with the elite band I guess). I didn’t find much difference between the Rift S and the Quest Link in performance though. The screen door was better handled on the rift. Quest 2 sounds like it has largely resolved screen door though.

Cool. Got VD just before I sold my quest so I only had a quick go at wireless. My 5Ghz wasn’t perfect (but it is located away from my actual router via a home plug), but I didn’t get a chance to look at improving it. Quest 2 arriving today !! Will try it out again.

Argh excellent news. Enjoy.

Yeah the rift was definitely better at being a rift. We'll see later on how good this quest 2 is... Hopefully today if yodel let me collect it

True. Though..speaking from experience not trying to be a ck, I have the quest and rift s. The quest just isn’t as comfortable and doesn’t perform as well as the rift s. Hopefully the quest 2 will Be improved. (y) 🏻

I have a vive with index controllers so this would be quite tempting, a quest seems good value if you don't have anything but certainly less interesting for me with the loss of finger tracking, worse controller tracking in general, bad audio and higher latency, along with facebook nonsense to deal with, so I'd be quite happy to get the pro for cheap

Vive Pro is much better, but the complete kit is also much more expensive.

Definitely order yourself an oculus quest 2 instead of this.

Gutted missed out there, that would have been a good upgrade from my original Vive

Warning... This requires external sensors which are not included for this price. "PLEASE NOTE: This version of the VIVE Pro is a headset only package and is intended as an upgrade for existing VIVE owners." Still a good deal but not an inside out tracked device so there could be more expense on top.

Definitely give Elite another go, I never even thought about trying it at sale price until I got VR and then it is pretty awesome seeing the size of the ships! Other than that depends on your game preference, Arizona Sunshine for zombie shooting or the new Walking Dead Saints and Sinners, Onward or Pavlov for VR FPS, Echo VR (with Revive if you don't have Oculus) for Zero G fun and some random free "experiences" to kill some time.

Going to give it a try. Is there any other must have vr games people would recommend. Got Moss, superhot, pirate training, gorn, rest of that humble bundle, no man sky, need to try elite dangerous again, bridge crew.

After over 2 years of having VR I am just getting over VR sickness, might try this to see how far I have come :D

This made me feel so sick

I finished it. Didn't love it though. Was hoping for space-Firewatch but it was only ok

Perfect thanks, I don't know how I missed it.

You can get a game elite subscription for £3. You'll get 4% reward points = £17 from the £436 headset. So that's £14 off the adapter, if you want to go through the trouble. Don't forget to cancel the subscription.

You can buy the adaptor kit from here: https://www.game.co.uk/en/m/vive-wireless-adaptor-clip-for-pro-2493372 Seems to be a good price

Thanks for the feedback and I think I'll go for it, I agree about mucking with the lenses which is not something I'm keen to do. Any recommendations where to get the kit for the wireless adapter to fit it to the Vive Pro?

Thanks! I would've hated tinkering with an expensive headset.

The Quest is a standalone mobile VR HMD. It doesn't require any wires during play Quest native games. You can also stream PCVR games to it via various different apps. Again totally wires free. For those who wish to use Link it's an option. I do use Link for some games where movement isn't key but generally prefer not to.

That looks like it uses a cable though? Just checking when you said you disliked VR systems with a cable.

What's the HD pass through?

Completely irrelevant product as a bundle. Rift S a far better product and experience at less than half the price and if not wanting to go the Oculus root, Index is considerably superior to the Valve Pro in almost every way.

Eh, what now? Exsqueeze me? Baking powder? What?

This has bad reviews. If you've got £600 to spend on a VR headset, get a Quest and keep the change or save some more and get an Index

Seriously who would buy this? The Quest is so much better than this junk.

Better than a Rift S, not as good as an Index so I’d say the price is right

Not much good review on youtube, most say it’s (poo) .
